"That's how you know it's real.

When it scares you but you want it anyway." Bailey replies and I can't help but smile.

"Look at you, when did you become a philosopher?" I tease and she chuckles.

"When I got pregnant and started having all these feelings," Bailey says dramatically. "Seriously though, Talia. I'm so proud of you. You took a risk on Marcus when you could have walked away and look at you now."

"I couldn't have done it without you," I say honestly. "That night you came over with wine

    Bailey POVThree years later The flowers in my hand are white roses.They were my grandma’s favorites.I kneel down beside her headstone, carefully placing them in the small vase."Hi, Grandma," I say softly.“ I am here to see you.”The cemetery is quiet this early in the morning.It's been a year since she passed away through a heart attack on Emma's second birthday.It was the worst timing, but that's life…messy and complicated and never quite following the script."Emma asks about you sometimes," I say. "I tell her stories about you.She is three today, stubborn as hell.”I wipe my eyes."Talia and Marcus are having a baby. I threatened Marcus that if he doesn't treat her right, he'll have to deal with me."I smile despite the tears then stand up, brushing dirt from my knees."I know you wouldn't want me crying today. So I'm going home to celebrate with my family.”I press my fingers to my lips, then touch them to her headstone.One last look, and then I turn to leave.When I ge

    Bailey POV"I can't believe I am getting married while looking like a whale," I mutter, staring at myself in the full-length mirror.The dress is beautiful with enough room to accommodate my very pregnant belly. But still, I am huge."You're not a whale," Talia says from where she is helping to adjust my veil. "You're glowing.Orion is going to lose his mind when he sees you." She points out."He sees me every day looking exactly like this. Huge and waddling and unable to see my own feet." I remind her."And he looks at you every day like you hung the moon," Talia counters. "Bailey, trust me. That man worships the ground you waddle on."Despite myself, I laugh."I can't believe you're getting married three months before me," Talia says."I always thought I'd be first." "You would have been if this baby hadn't decided to cook for the full nine months," I say, rubbing my belly. "We wanted to get married before they arrived, and my due date is in two weeks, so...""So you're getting mar

You took a risk on Marcus when you could have walked away and look at you now.""I couldn't have done it without you," I say honestly. "That night you came over with wine and ice cream and talked me through everything…""That's what best friends do," Bailey interrupts. "Besides, you did the same for me when I was freaking out about Orion.""That's right." I agree."Now we're both engaged to men we almost lost," Bailey says. "Life is weird.""Life is perfect," I correct."Speaking of perfect," Bailey says, "are you still planning to work at the bakery until I pop this baby out?""Of course," I say. "I'm not leaving you to handle Sweet Moments alone when you're ab

    Talia POVFour months have passed.It has been four months since I accepted to do this, to mold Marcus to my taste.Four months of him showing up exactly when he said he would.In these four months, we have had real dates, honest conversations and him introducing me to every single person in his life.It has also been a period of falling deeper in love with a man I never thought would be capable of change.Three weeks ago, he proposed.It was unexpected but perfect.I was working at Bailey's bakery where I have been helping her out until she gives birth. Marcus came in after closing time with flowers and got down on one knee right there in the middle of the shop, surrounded by the smell of fresh bread and pastries.I cried so hard I could barely say yes.Now, standing in front of my bedroom mirror, adjusting my engagement dress for the third time, I'm wondering why the hell I'm so nervous."You keep fidgeting with that dress, you're going to rip it," Marcus says from where he is lean

    "Is that right? You're going to have to do better than that," Marcus purrs, kissing the inside of my thighs."Please, Daddy. Please fuck me. I need you inside me," I beg desperately."Mmm. Begging is a good look for you. All right, doll. Since you've been so good, Daddy will fuck your tight pussy," Marcus whispers, stroking my hair.I whimper in anticipation. My walls clench, eager for his cock."First, we have to get these pesky little toys out," he says, pulling one of the balls from my opening slowly."Now, I want you to push the rest out. Push them out and give Daddy a nice show," Marcus orders.I do as he says, pushing the balls out of my body. He watches, entranced, as they spill onto the desk with soft clinks."Such a naughty, kinky little girl. You're lucky I like it. I'm going to fill you with something better, doll. Something big and thick," Marcus whispers.He takes his cock in hand and pushes into me in one smooth thrust.I'm still sensitive and swollen from my orgasm, but

    I'm a writhing mess by the time he slowly walks toward me, loosening his tie."Are you ready to take your punishment, babydoll?" he asks."Should you punish me first or reward me for being a good girl?" I ask breathlessly.He's standing before me now, and my eyes trail to his bulge sitting proudly against the confines of his trousers.I swallow, already imagining how it will feel in my mouth.My mouth waters and I lick my lips, thinking about how hard and good his cock feels as it pushes in and out of my pussy."Punish you first. You know you want to spank this tight ass until it's red and tender," I whisper, standing up and pulling my skirt down.The fabric pools at my feet and I step out of it.I turn around and present my bottom to him.His strong hands grip my ass cheeks immediately, kneading them and pulling them apart to reveal the wet treasure that he knows and loves.He gives my ass a sharp slap and then rubs the area to soothe the sting.Then he does it again, spanking my oth

    Bailey POV I turn to see a stern-looking older man with a whistle around his neck standing near the bench. I presume he is the coach."Sorry, Coach Williams," Orion calls back. Then he turns to look at me, holding my hand which doesn't go unnoticed by the hater in the room."I have to go. There is
